Free shipping promo? I saw there is one floating around. Thinking since its the 4th of July they'd have it on the site and I didn't see it. Can someone please post it or PM to me?
Thanks

You put the 5.7l filter in?

5.7L or diesel filters will work

Perfect. Just ordered it!

I like the feel of my pedal now with this mod and adding the AEM dry filter.

Same, only I have the k&n drop in. Throttle response seems a tad better. Thanks to @2016Bighorny for the hookup on the lower box.

Is there any need to reset the computer after doing this?

No need. It'll "learn" the new airflow after a few miles.

i did this in the middle of july before a road trip and the truck did have better throttle response.

I’ve ordered the lower air box, inlet and the OEM eco diesel filter. A little better breathing combined with factory water protection and good filtering sounds like a win/win.

I installed the lower airbox, inlet pipe and filter this evening. That filter is twice as thick as the stock 5.7 L filter.

My understanding is that you can still use the 5.7 filter. I wonder if the thicker Eco Diesel filter can cause issues or reduce airflow into the 5.7?

The Ecodiesel/6.4 filter are the same PN and they flow more air than the 5.7 filter. The Ecodiesel has a turbo and needs more airflow than the 5.7 as well as the 6.4 because it's a bigger displacement motor.

The filters are the same outer dimensions so you can swap back and forth.
The EcoDiesel airfilter is the same part# used in the 6.4l Hemi, the thicker airfilter will flow more air and hold more dirt before it's clogged up.

Has anyone who has done this modification noticed improvements in fuel mileage? I wonder also if my exhaust would sound a little throatier under throttle.

Why would it improve fuel mileage?

I don't know the answer; but I imagine it would be the same reason that K&N and other free-flowing air filters claim more power and better mpg.
